Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

It was originally known as "The Liberty Carousel", (PTC #46) and delivered to Palace Gardens located at [[Belle Isle Park ]] in Detroit, Michigan.

[1] Arrow Development, in which Disney had purchased a 1/3 interest in 1960 and which had restored the King Arthur Carousel for Disneyland, produced new engineering drawings for the mechanism and horses.

[4][5] Cinderella has been depicted as riding a horse in various pieces of collectable sculpture and artwork, such as a 2001 Limited Edition lithograph.

On June 1, 2010, the name was changed from Cinderella's Golden Carousel to Prince Charming Regal Carrousel.

In the countryside near the castle, he built a training device of carved horses, on which he could practice the art of ring-spearing, a tournament event in which a knight rides his horse full speed, lance in hand, toward a small ring hanging from a tree limb, with the object of spearing the ring.

The carrousel device drew the attention of the villagers, who wanted to take a turn on this amazing spinning contraption.

Instead of a working knight’s training device, however, this new carrousel is more befitting its regal location in the Castle Courtyard – its rustic training horses replaced with ornately decorated prancing steeds adorned with golden helmets and shields, flower garlands, feathers, and other festoons.

Prince Charming invites one and all to test their horsemanship skills and to enjoy their own happy ending.In Tokyo, the attraction is known as the Castle Carrousel.
